If you don’t love and accept yourself, who will?
Accept yourself, it’s a campaign in our country, whose theme has never been discussed before. Famous influencers in Albania have become part of it. Knowing their impact but also with the meaningful photoshoot that I have done, we gave an important and beautiful message. This problem affects every woman or girl and each powerful image that is captured tells a different story so anyone can find themselves in there.
The issue I am bringing to everyone’s attention takes another meaning in a closed and prejudiced society like ours. Albania, a country which has been isolated for decades by the communist regime, unfortunately still in this day retains a backward mentality that judges women and does not accept them as they are. People always treated as not an important human being, a person who had to give birth, take care of her husband and her kids and nothing else.
Even though things have changed lately but not for better. Nowadays women are seen as objects. They have to be pretty enough and perfect to achieve things in life. Because of that a lot of women go beyond their possibilities to become “acceptable” according to the criteria set by this society. Media is forcing women to look in a certain way so WE can be acceptable. Today we are taught by social media how to act or how to dress or what to do and that’s not okay. Studies show that women every day are unhappy with their bodies or looks.
The impact of Accept Yourself
Accept yourself, an important and significant campaign to change people’s mindset. We talk about feeling beautiful but not only on the outside.
Internal beauty is what matters. You are pretty, you are you. Through Accept yourself I wanted to achieve that every woman who thinks that something it’s wrong with her, to wake up every morning and feel PRETTY.
Accept yourself campaign went beyond our expectations. Through this project, we challenged every beauty standard.
The feedback we received made me understand that the project came at the right time. It gave its immediate impact. But of course, I couldn’t do this on my own. Many articles, shows, websites dedicated their time to this project and gave their support. I received endless thankful and supportive messages every day.
Self-love is the first step of happiness, accepting yourself is the first step of love. Flaws make us who we are and that’s why I chose this theme to help women gain confidence and if Accept yourself fulfills this goal then we have done something big and we are bringing to the world a great value.
Loving yourself in the age of social media it’s becoming harder & harder and that is the reason I decided about this campaign, to raise our voices that perfect doesn’t exist and it’s okay to be normal.
